Muscadelle/Semillon
Serious competition for Chateau d’Yquem! This exceptional cuvee, not always produced, represents the fullest expression of pure Noble Rot. Each grape is harvested with extreme care, very often grape by grape. It delivers an extraordinary complexity of aromas, but its splendour reveals itself in the mouth, with a creaminess and a rare power, yet never with heaviness.
This cuvee is known by everyone, from Robert Parker with his note of 100/100 to Michel Bettane, not forgetting Jancis Robinson. It is one of the world references of our time.
The vines used for this super cuvee are 50 years old. The yield an astonishingly low 2 to 6 hl/ha. That is crazy! Up to eleven passes through the vineyard are made. This is a labour of love! The wines is fermented in new French oak and then aged in new oak for 20 to 30 months.
The quality and style are not unlike Coutet’s Cuvee Madame as the name suggests. Incredibly intense and powerful but always finishing clean. The wines are truly superb. I think the wine copares very favourably with Chateau d’Yquem!
